Olajuwon and I met working for the same company. He literally "wobbled" his way into my heart! He would stand at his desk doing a dance, the wobble. We became friends first and always kept that bond. Life took us in different directions. But, as the saying goes, "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, it was meant to be!" And we were meant to be!
We were celebrating Navine's 5th Birthday party with loved ones. Olajuwon thanked everyone for coming and celebrating with us. He began to acknowledge me. While thanking me for putting the party together, he relayed there was one question for me! He dropped to one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?" The best four words, EVER! I joyfully said, "YES!" And almost 6 months later, we're ready to say I DO! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Atlanta!
